Problems with USB HID Special keys
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2015 2:04 pm
Hey there,
I tried for a while to get my old sun type 5c keyboard onto usb and now I'm at a point where the keys are registered and modifiers work, but only on linux.
On windows it doesn't accept the volume up/down/mute or power keys. And on linux the power key seems to act as a sleep key.
I assume it has to do with my report descriptor and/or differences in how windows handles those few keys.
I checked with a tool if the keyboard does get recognised correctly in windows and sends the correct commands, and they seem okay.
Compared to another real keyboard, it only has 1 stream while the real one has apparently 2.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
